Through a combination of enterprise training, access to grants, market access support, and personalized mentoring, participants will be equipped with tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today’s competitive business landscape.
Cohort 3 features a 3-day intensive training from 9th – 11th September 2025. It is a physical training designed to equip participants with essential skills in Business Management, filled with interactive workshops and seminars to deepen their understanding in scaling up their businesses.
The apex of the program is a grand pitchathon, where participants will be allowed to pitch their business ideas to a panel of credible judges.
